About the Willamette Valley Chapter

Founded in 1975, the Willamette Valley Chapter (WVC) serves members in Oregon and southwestern Washington. When we wrote our current mission statement in 2006, Oregon had two STC chapters: Willamette Valley and Mid-Valley. Today, only STC Willamette Valley remains active and hopes to serve all Oregon and southwestern Washington members equally.
